Hi, everyone.

It seems every time I upgrade to a newer version of Boxer, some new or old setting gets changed. It puzzles me especially when I simply open an old album and save it. Some undesired change happens. For example, yesterday I created a new album and imported the settings from a previous album. When I generated the new album, the thumbnail page showed up with unwanted text: "NAME: "" 22.10.09" Well, nothing like that was in the previous albums. I don't have anything showing up with the thumbnails. In fact the only text that appears in my photos are in the expanded photo if there is any comment. The date also appears on rollover on the expanded photo. After tweaking the settings over and over, I gave up and removed all text: date and comments. That cleared the problem with the thumbnails. However, I wonder if there is anything I can do to prevent these unwanted changes whenever I upgrade to a newer version. Maybe I'm missing some obvious setting here, but I don't get it why it's appearing on the thumbnails page when they were never there in older albums. Any suggestions?

When I enable EXIF, I do get the unwanted text. Here's an example showing what I'm talking about:

{test album removed by poster - problem fixed}

See the text above the thumbnails.

What I don't understand is the fact that 2 months ago I used the exact same setting (I just copied the last album settings) and did not have that text showing. Also the date only appeared when I rolled the mouse over the image (overlay). In the comment section, there was only text I added. I cannot get the date to appear only on overlay. Here's the example showing the way I had the date appearing on overlay and no text on thumbnails:

When I look at the photos using Bridge, I see the EXIF info listed. I have not changed cameras or software I use to manage the photos. What do you think I'm missing?

Thanks for taking time to troubleshoot this. I appreciate your advice.

Alan,

Thanks for your response. Yes, the date works fine along with the captions (I revised the test album and now it shows the date on the caption). I liked the overlay because it was unobtrusive. It was more as a reminder for me if I needed to know when the shot was taken.

Glad you liked the Glacier shots. Of the 3 parks we visited this year, we loved Glacier and would like to go back for more hikes.

Alan,

You're +da man+! Thanks for fixing the problem. I've revised my album now. It is working just like the previous one (http://ka-el.net/yellowstone/).

P.S.: The test album mentioned above in this thread has been removed.
